The NCFCA Office will be closed to celebrate Christmas from noon CT 12/22 and reopen at 8am CT on 12/26.

WHO WE ARE

NCFCA is an organization committed to training homeschool, high school students to address life issues in a manner that glorifies God, and ultimately preparing our students to shape our culture and impact people for Christ.

What parents are saying

“…Speech and debate require my children to develop excellent listening, writing, and speaking skills… judging at Speech and Debate tournaments restores my hope for the future. It’s a chance to share joys and thoughts with other like-minded parents….a place where the “cool” kids are well-dressed, polite and well-spoken, thoughtful and even prayerful.”

- Andrew Pudewa, NCFCA Parent and Director of Institute for Excellence in Writing

What the community is saying

“I was totally blown away by the level of kids I was judging…I teach kids through Junior Achievement and I have never had such a soul awaking to the potential of some of these kids…I will be ever grateful for being asked to be a part of the event. Next year I will not only come on my day off but I would take two personal days to do this event.”

What hosts are saying

“We have had the honor of hosting two NCFCA national championships and one regional tournament at Northwestern. Several of the university’s staff members enjoyed sitting in on a sessions as judges, and were blown away by the skill level of these students. They exhibit a deep commitment to their faith and an ability to think creatively, logically, and intellectually. I can't say enough good things about NCFCA; I am excited to see what God has in store for expanding this partnership. We would be thrilled at the opportunity to host NCFCA in the future.”

- Mike Moroney, VP of Enrollment Management, University of Northwestern – St. Paul

What students are saying

“I look back on the years I spent in the NCFCA as the best years in my life. Now, I am at a state school and taking an intro to philosophy course...we have been discussing arguments for and against the existence of God. I cannot tell you how speech and debate has prepared me for situations like this. I stood strong asking questions and defending my beliefs.”
